Leaves burned after spraying a cocktail

korn420liestarted grow question 2y ago

To repel aphids I sprayed garlic infused in alcohol with water, already did this few times without side effects. But this time I added several drops of tea tree essential oil. Is it possible that the essential oil has burned the leaves so much or is this some nutrient deficiency?

it's similar to watering in the summer while the sun is shining on the plant. the water acts like a magnifying glass on the leaves and the sun's rays do the rest. it's even worse with oil on the leaves, which can't penetrate the plant or seep away. it stays on the leaves for a long time and burns and burns

Never spray your plants with alcohol or essential oils, they are cannabis plants, not hippies. There are plenty of proper products to get rid of aphids, some natural ones too. Unless you actually have aphids, I would not spray them "just in case"...........treat problems, don't create problems. Yes, it is damage from your home made spray, it is not a nutrient problem. Stick with real science and avoid ghetto science!

This is to me like she would do great with some Epsom Salt. 150-200ppm added to tap. PH 6.5-7 with soil. It'll be an excellent input of Mag/Sulphur which I think this is. You can also add as a foliar spray. Just dim the lights 1st until she dries up. Less ppm on a foliar spray. 100ppm of ES added to tap Once a wk Don't get anything with aloe Vera or anything in it just pure ES. Good

Well I added 280 ppm nutes and she showed signs of burn and the leaves dropped. I lowered the ppm to 200. Is that good enough? It's a very small amount of brown around the edges but I dont want it to get bad.

Necrosis on the leaves tips.From these burnt tips. This mostly on the top leaves of the plant. You guys think I'm overfeeding or perhaps some nute lock ups? I'm not totally sure.

First grow, random seed, no idea if it’s auto or not, and wondering if I’ve over fertilized.Hello grow masters! I’m on my first ever grow, and on a slim budget. After buying some equipment, I decided to try to germ some old, random seeds to start, and buy good feminized seeds when I have more cash. 1 female worked out, but no idea of strain or if auto or not. Is it ok?

Is this due to the sun and hot weather?Some parts of some leaves are looking like they're burnt or something. Is this due to the sun? Or do I have another problem? It has been extremely hot last week (around 35 degrees all week). And the plant has been in direct sunlight (I've moved it into the shade yesterday)

What to do with crispy curly fan leaves that do have some resin on them?, I'm already on flushing.Some fan leaves are starting to look a bit too crispy and curly, they do have some trichomes, I'm 3-4 days into flushing. I'm not sure if the dry matter can "contaminate" the buds somehow, and don't know if I should do something about it, I'm planning to get some "bubble hash"

Organic peat control I think my plant is being eaten but gnats and it looks like nutrient damage on it but I haven’t given ANY nutrients to it. What should I do? Can you diagnose my plant? Any remedies? I heard cayenne pepper can be used for a pesticide is there other things? Does Neem oil work well?
